Interesting video again! Model was buried by his men where he died at hte forrest. In 1955, his son, Hansgeorg Model, had Model's remains recovered from its field grave and organized a reburial in the Soldatenfriedhof Vossenack.
I happen to know that Walter Model committed suïcidein the Hürtchenwald after he commanded his troops to walk into the Belgiums Ardennes where his soldiers got emprisonned and he thus saved their lives....!!
@@gerdiealbers7788 Could you run a metal detector there in thewoods , to look for the shell casings from Model's suicide. I'm sure with documentation that will be worth a lot!
A warrior indeed. “When this war is over we will be accused of an infinity of murder as if all men at war everywhere hadn’t behaved the same way” The forgotten soldier
perhaps one the greatest defensive generals in history. honour in death unlike his fellow generals blaming their crimes on hitler and his party only. most kind for this video.
His soldiers hated him not like Rommel. He insulted his officers in public and officers were not willing to work under him. He was a kind of general who expected too much in a short time.
Great video watching from Jamaica 🇯🇲...keep up the good work👍🏿 didn't know field Marshal Walter Model was buried in a Cemetery thoughts there wasn't a Grave of him.
Very well put together, and so interesting for a WW2 nut like me - cheers. I think he was supposed to be liked by his men as he spoke their language (with plenty of profanity!) but was highly competent. I think they called him frontline pig or something!. However he was not so popular with his immediate subordinates as he was so demanding of them - not a bad thing by any means.
Modal was stupendous. The greatest general since Alexander the Great. Tragic that he had to commit suicide. Although a committed Nazi he never gave up his Lutheran faith.
Great job but.... Von Runstedt didn't took over Model's job in the east when he got Heeresgruppe B in the west. Von Kluge was OB west when Rommel commanding Heeresgruppe B was injured. Kluge combined both commands but Model asked for Von Rundstedt to become OB west once again so that he could concentrate in the field commanding Heeresgruppe B. Model was indeed for defence what von Manstein was for offense
@@SandervkHistory He was buried in a forest near Duisburg by his adjutants after his death. His son Hansgeorg found the unmarked grave with the help of Winrich Behr, one of Model's staff officers who were with him until the last days and reinterred him to the present site in 1955. He was my favourite general too. He was a general, who honoured his oath until his death. Thank you SO much for making this video.
When I visited this cemetery I was surprised at the state of neglect. Very sad contrast with the allied military cemeteries. The modern Germans seem to live in some sort of shame culture and try to atone for their sins by ignoring their own history.
@@Toyotaamazon80series Operation Barbarossa is called "the invasion of Russia", operation Overlord " the deliverance of Europe". Someone with a slight understanding of history should explain this to me.
Good yt material. Everybody should visit that area there at hurtgenwald. Surrounding is beautiful the wo2 history is intense butt a respectful place. A lot to see in a square of 40km like hill 400 2 war cemeteries of german soldiers. Kall trail smidt and vossenack. And Forrest it self.
The place is beautifull! Full of history! I have a future video about the Hurtgenwald battle! So stay tuned for that one 👀 you will see everything you just mentioned 😉
@@SandervkHistory How's video coming? I do love your videos. WW2 videos from German perspectives are not easy to find, yet we need to learn from the Germans to get the full picture. And thank you so much for this video about GFM Model, one of the greatest German Generals.
I forget how to spell field marshal Ruinstead name properly without getting out of my chair and getting my copy of LIDDEL HART book, THE GERMAN GENERALS TALK, but I can tell you he was never on the eastern front after jan 42, I don't know where some of these ww2 video get their facts from, its easy enough to do some basic research of ww2 ETO. I suggest you read the book buy LH. he interviews most of the survivors of the German high command.
@@SandervkHistory Just go to Bittburg in Germany (Reagan visited it in 1985 / It was a big controversy back then ) . By the way, Soldaten friedhoff Eijsselstein and Lommel also have a lot of SS men, which you can tell from their rank.
It depends on who is doing the burials. The Allies buried more Germans, than the Germans buried the Allies. That and how comingled the remains are. In Normandy as soon as shelling stopped, the first order of the day was to police up everything that wasn't still standing up, for both the Allies and Germans. Grey uniforms in one pile, green uniforms in another. Burial details was an MOS in the US Army- it wasn't a punishment unit. Identify the dead- give them a name. It's the last thing you owe them from the world of the living.
Interesting video again!

Thank you Rolf! And thanks for the extra info! I shouldve said it in the video... i now regret it
He comitted suïcide because he was a true nazi maybe he was a good general but not a good human .
his son erved as a general in the bundeshwehr

Great, fantastic and immortal Walter Model!!! Respect forever!!! 👍👍👍

Knew alot of the man already, but very interesting to see the grave.
Awesome material as always!
There is always more to learn! Thanks for watching🙏
Model lead by example. A marshal never gives up. A hard man for hard times.
Great stuff! Hope you start growing soon!
Thanks! 2022 will be my year 💪

Walter Model was a very brave man and a great leader of men. His soldier's loved him apparently, 👍 🇩🇪 🇮🇪
He was indeed a great leader for the soldiers! The soldiers really looked up to him.
@@SandervkHistory Indeed, one of Germany's greatest sons. It's fitting that he rests in the Hurtgenwald.
I have tremendous respect for the Fieldmarshal Model..
@@PurpleCat9794 He was and remains a legend, R.I.P.

Nice to see a new chapter on your channel. Good production. Fascinating.

I’m subscribed to both of you, love your Normandy series
Just found your channel. Look forward to more content.
Excellent video. Keep up the great work. Cheers !
Thank you! I will do my best! 💪

Would have loved to read a book about his thoughs in war time.
@@SandervkHistory Wow! To read his reflections would have been awesome. What internal reasoning made him so effective.
Good to see you here again. I hope the things are ok for you now.
Thank you! Yes its all good. Didnt had alot of time to edit videos. But now i have time again to produce more! 🙏
He was the very Model of modern major general.
My favourite general in ww2 , may god have mercy on his soul
For sure, Generalfieldmarshall Model is in Walhal!
@@moc6897
What dose walhal mean?
@@tkaali6866 a restroom for brave Germanic warriors in the Otherworld ...

I read that once , I thought it was Heinrich Ehrler word before crushing his plane he said to his mate I’ll see you in the volhal .
He and Erwin Rommel are my favorite German Generals.
Interesting! Thanks for the great video.
Thanks for watching! 🙏
Where did you get the footage video for walter model
I got it from a documentary, and cut that bit out. It was really hard to find footage of him.
@@SandervkHistory do you now what is the name film? and do you have another footage for walter model?
Very interesting, solid work! 👍🏻
Thanks bro! Appreciate you watching💪 looking forward to a new video on youre channel 👍
@@SandervkHistory 👊🏻👍🏻, you bet, thanks!

Ja tof man! Leuke bonus zo. Cheers
Thanks man! 💪
Good Job . !
His doctrine could’ve won the war. RIP Model
lucky it did not get to use
Good stuff!
Thank you Tony! 💪
Hero ❤
I always thought he committed suicide and was buried in a unknown grave in the woods
No he was burried with his soldiers under the same grave. Thats what he wanted.
@@SandervkHistory He was buried in a forest near Duisburg by his adjutants after his death.

Good video. I am always amazed at the contrast between German war cemeteries and those of the Allies.
Thank you! Yeah the differences are very visable, but still unique in their own ways!

Yes, eventhough he was fighting for the wrong side.
@@SandervkHistory

Wrong ?
He was german Fighting for his nation since the Days of the emperor
@@Atheneon I dont mean the German side. But the Nazi's side.

Was he involved war crimes in eastern front?
Field marshal never surrender
No true German Field Marshall ever surrendered.
Friedrich Paulus
@@Tridhos he promoted to be a Field Marshall only to not surrender and end his own life.
Model shot his self in the woods near Duisburg.
Still he was the first high ranking officer to swear loyalty towards Hitler, after the Stauffenberg putsch in 1944. So I don't rescpect him it all.
There are not many waffen-ss cemeteries, are there?
I have no clue, i think there are only just German cemetery's and no special SS cemetery's.
@@SandervkHistory
Just go to Bittburg in Germany (Reagan visited it in 1985 /
It was a big controversy back then ) . By the way, Soldaten friedhoff Eijsselstein and Lommel also have a lot of SS men, which you can tell from their rank.
Not just for them, no. They are buried among the Wehrmacht troops.
